Get the latest software updates for the Harley-Davidson Advanced Audio system to make sure your system is operating at peak performance. You can bring your bike to the dealer to have the software updated or you can follow the directions below to do it yourself.
Follow these easy instructions to update the software for your Harley-Davidson Advanced Audio system. Once you download and copy the software update files to a CD, the radio does all the work.
Print out these instructions so you can take them with you as you work on your bike.
Check your current software version just to make sure that your radio software does need to be updated.
1. Turn your radio on and select FM mode.
2. Turn the ignition key switch to OFF.
3. Press and hold any two soft keys (the numbered buttons on the face of your radio, see Figure 1) and then turn the ignition key switch to ACCESS.
4. Continue to press the soft keys until "Diag Test" is displayed in the middle of the screen (see Figure 2).
5. Press soft key 4, labeled "Software."
6. Press soft key 6 to exit.
Two different software components are displayed. Each is followed by the letter "v" to indicate the version, such as "v7.4.0". If "ST10" is v8.21.0 or newer (2006-2009 models), you do NOT need to proceed with the software update, you will see no improvement in the VOX settings.
Your radio needs to read two files from a CD to perform the update. These files can be downloaded to your computer from this page and then you can write/burn them onto a CD.
Your computer must have a CD writer/burner and be loaded with an operating system of Windows 98 or newer. If you have a Macintosh computer, it must be running OS X. You must also have a ZIP file extraction utility.
1. Save the above ZIP file to your desktop or another location you will remember.
2. Unzip the two update files (HD TMS320 8_19_0.upg and st10 tms320_bootloader_8_22_0.bin) and save them to your desktop or another location you will remember.
3. Write/burn these two files to a CD (CD-R or CD-RW) in a standard format (HFS Plus/ISO 9660), iTunes (Audio CD), or MP3 (ISO 9660). Set your record speed down to eight or less and follow the instructions provided by your CD writing software.
4. The CD is now ready to be used to update your radio software.
* Harley-Davidson is unable to provide technical support for file downloading or CD writing.
Now that you have the CD with the software update files, all you need to do is insert the CD into the radio and it will do all the work. Do not close the CD player door during this update. Note: Do not use this CD to try to correct an existing issue (such as a radio that currently has a blank screen).
1. With your radio in FM mode, eject any CD you may have in the radio.
2. Turn the ignition key switch to OFF.
3. Press and hold any two soft keys and then turn the ignition key switch to ACCESS.
4. Continue to press the soft keys until "Diag Test" is displayed in the middle of the screen.
5. Press soft key 5, labeled "Update."
6. Insert the CD with your update files into the radio when "Insert CD" is displayed on the radio screen (see Figure 3). Do NOT close the CD player door.
The radio will automatically update the software. This process will take about seven minutes. A message will inform you of the progress of the update. The radio will power down and restart automatically twice during the update. If the CD appears jammed or will not eject, turn off the radio, turn the ignition key switch to OFF, pull the vehicle maxi-fuse, and wait five minutes before replacing the fuse. Try ejecting the CD again once power has been restored.
7. After the radio has restarted for the second time, press soft key 6, labeled "Exit" to return to normal radio mode.
8. Eject the CD from the radio.
Now that the update process has completed, verify that it was successful by reviewing the software version number on the radio screen.
